I didn't know you lived this every day because I don't know the hate that showed its fangs Myopia won't slow down The oppressive arm of the state A man that stands for nothing A fascist will fall for nothing Drown in the blood of those that we have loved Dedicate their lives to build and overcome We all know who you are Another fake profiteer superstar Grab pussy, don't pay you taxes Teach us all what you put into practice It does not think, therefore it is not It's only a title, but you've become the mascot for the dark underbelly, racist america We are all victims of the system that you milk and now we have a face, for hate and prejudice To take our hand and lead us down another abyss Nothing changes, cycles always repeat His reign comes to an end, when we burn down the streets Take it back, with Molotov's and bricks Take down the fuhrer, with the people's stick

Put your hands up in the air And get the fuck on the ground Boots to the back of my head Another body left for dead Abuse of power for liberty Statism the blind cohort Stripped of every right afforded of me Our pet machine's latest casualty A fucking m16 aimed at your family under the guise of our safety This epidemic growing in the shadows The few above the law have taken control It's mass hysteria so we keep dancing Tonight shut down the streets the new state is burning A slap on the wrist but job well done Another execution's televised Official statement is another lie The city's free from another bad guy LSD synthasized ergotamine Hysterical contagious dopamine An indivisible nation that's divided They sacrifice justice let's riot We went to war, on exploited fears Now it came home, our souvenir Collective delirium, a starless midnight The hands of plutocracy left no choice but to fight Burden me with hate cuz I can't wait to clean the fucking slate The silence of our friends changes my lens it's time to cleanse This epidemic growing in the shadows The few above the law have taken control It's mass hysteria so we keep dancing Tonight lets take the streets the blue scare is ending They're burning witches as the fever rises Phantom attackers all in different disguises Delusion used to divide next is subjection We've found the bleeding now lets cleanse the infection

Guest Coast 02:15
Pack up my last north star Into the back of my car Race until I can't see these lights Find a dark hole to drown tonight Each morning before I blink Tonight after a couple of drinks A light flickers in the night Reminding me everything is finite Trying to lose what's behind these eyes I'm sick of always feeling like I'm buying more time I guess this time, I'll put up my hands Protect the jaw and learn how to dance Draw down demons above, this is my chance to draw first blood Hiding right in front of me, silent on your killing spree Pack up my last north star There is no distance too far To free myself of these scars The sky is empty tonight Nothing ever feels as bright There's no remaking what's been lost Retribution from my double cross Every bridge burning Never returning Of a fire burning And darkness lurking Kill the demons
4.
I want to know why you gave up When did it stop being your fight Year after year it beat you down You lost the fight but hide in flight We find comfort in our lies Blood thirsty savages, sent to civilize Rape and colonize Nothing changes the bombs will drop We elect monster up to the top Our capitol's named after a fraud Don't change the laws change what we're taught What's scaring everyone today Go watch the circus cuz the bread has gone away There are more than two choices Divide with talking points and polarize our voices Connect the world with a pipeline They hide behind a job, the profits must rise Out of the way, or everyone dies
5.
In Ink 01:31
Up for the world to see Every thought documented in ink Myopic celebrity No one gives a fuck what you think Step back, free of that person A fake life, a plastic curtain Pick and choose, a perfect surface Flip a coin, who are we today Another mask, put up on display Identity, dissipates away Lost along the way, starvation leads to decay This is a fuck you song Disseminating garbage, you know is fucking wrong Present only by proxy, Regurgitation of another copy You've never known anything original You stuck around thinking you're invincible Entitlement is all you fucking know Your ivory tower above the truth below You are no different, based on deceit Culling lies and facts to exploit insecurities Take advantage of people's fears Manipulation hiding behind misled cheers
6.
Hell Enough 00:53
Grab your torches The mob assembles tonight Your time is fucking up You won't live to see first light Last breath of innocence Ripped from the innocent Ridiculed for torture you did not prevent Vultures circle overhead Making you wish you were dead The victim demonized Burned at the stake and ripped to shreds There is no hell hot enough No room left for you above No cage that is small enough Justice is not handcuffs Like you were never here Your existence disappears You've taken your last breath Like you were never here
7.
So I Became 02:13
Detached behind this crooked smile So that you are, and so I became Asphyxiation of all drive The death of my pride and all of my shame Beatdown again and again I don't know where to begin Tired of always starting new and chemicals to make it through The rains quit seeding from above Feel through the black to stand up Learn to live wearing these handcuffs Paint on a face, just to blend in Sharing space with my evil twin Constant reminders I with this pain would end Maybe I'll drown it away but now it lingers within Stuck in a pattern Around this circle, I can't break free A vicious cycle Constant rebirth into slavery
8.
Come and see the one man show The bottom to the top alone You've done it all by yourself by the boostraps with no help A closed door I'll never get behind A contract that will never be signed There never was a seat for me at the table A fragile balance I would only unstable Somewhere something went wrong Some darkness tagged along A little misery doesn't feel wrong My darkness tagged along Come and see my one man show I have no choice but to keep it on the road On the fringe, keeping quiet as an outcast There's no way I can make this last Why does everything feel wrong The blood will rise at dawn Spit me out when I take it head on While the machine carries on Too tall, too short, too fat, eat more Too white, too poor, too black, you whore You're never going to be good enough
9.
Throw the first stone, before you stop to think You already know, the answer to everything Community through inclusion Leave behind the path of exclusion Looking for a true autonomy Codified independence not for me Every essential hurdle is spun in two directions Both lead us back to the same place, a fascist coalition It began with a racial hegemony that first introduced democracy Slowly becoming the minority only chance is grasping at tyranny We need a shift in ideologies Rip down rebuild a world that guarantees A fucking seat at the table, for everyone free of labels And from the state no need for class, This engine obsolete creatively destroyed
10.
Big Orange 01:31
The traveling circus comes to town Another clown grasping at the crown The same show we've all seen before Don't think I can make another four Making a game out of stirring the pot Marginalize communities into mascots Spur the hate you create as a smoke screen Gun regulation termination with a vaccine Collective self preservation will eliminate the threat Mask conditioned opposition to our interest Exposed the prejudice hiding in our shadows We need to kill it now before it goes back comatose It looks like you have found yourself with no place left to hide Where is the good guy with the gun to make it safe outside Trying to pin us against each other Coerce division so were killing one another A system off the rails plowing through pedestrians Pipelines in our backyard so wall street can win Survival instinct takes over Statist scared start to crossover Intersection our new need Our comrades continue to bleed
11.
I want to plan the perfect death Destroy that world so there's nothing left Burn it down leave it all behind A future I could never design How do I end everything How do I let the sun burn out Justify to buy more time Medicate to cover my doubts This time I want control of how it ends Close my eyes and lets begin See the strangers staring back from within All these lies I'm living Looking back at that man I'll never be him again I took his life and I ran A split identity Avoid obscenity There is no turning back I'm never going back
